News

In order to stand out in the competitive graduate jobs market, a good CV is key.
Your first opportunity to show a potential employer who you are and what you can do, your CV should reflect your skills, work experience, education history, hobbies and interests – all on 2 sides of A4 or less!
When you consider that employers spend an average of 6 seconds skimming your CV, the right structure is key to ensuring that you get all the relevant information seen – and better your chances of landing the graduate job you’re after. Although the content of your CV will vary greatly depending on the types roles you're applying for, there is a fairly conventional way of structuring a CV, across every sector.
With that in mind – here’s how to structure a CV for graduate job search success.
Contact details - name, number, email
There’s no need to include the title ‘Curriculum Vitae’ at the top of your CV - the first thing that employers see should be your contact details. This should include your full name, phone number and email address. Make sure these are as visible as possible – how else will the employer be able to contact you?
It’s not expected of you to include your marital status, date of birth, race or nationality (although if you would require a VISA to work in the UK it might be a good idea to include this here).
Personal profile / personal summary
Key to making a good first impression, your personal profile (also known as a personal statement, a professional profile or a personal summary) should include a couple of sentences about you and what you can bring to the role. The main goal of the section should be to grab the employers' attention, by showcasing your best skills, impressive qualifications and past experiences.
Try to include a couple of buzzwords that are relevant to the role or sector you’re applying to – i.e. “analytical”, “creative” or “entrepreneurial”.
Education history
Your education section should be listed in order of your most recent qualifications first. If you have just graduated from university, make sure that your degree result is displayed clearly, followed by your A-Levels and GCSE’s (you probably don’t need to list each GCSE and result separately, just 7As, 3Bs, and so on.)
If you are still at university, it’s acceptable to write a predicted grade – i.e. ‘currently working towards a BSc (Hons) Mathematics 2.1’.
If you are more experienced, you might have achieved some qualifications throughout your career – such as a CIMA or ACA qualification, or a CIM marketing qualification – so make sure you include these in the education section of your CV.
Work experience
Employers will be interested in finding out about your previous roles and successes. If you’ve just left university, and are applying for graduate jobs, this might mean that you don’t have much work experience. Don’t despair - your work history should include all part-time jobs throughout school or university, as well as any placements, or volunteering.
Just like your education section, work backwards from your most recent role, and try not to leave any major gaps – i.e. if you took a gap after university or between graduate jobs, explain why these were rather than leaving the employer guessing.
If you have been working for a while, make sure to list each one of your graduate jobs, as well as a couple of bullet points listing your responsibilities and daily tasks. Make sure that you mention the responsibilities that are most relevant to this role when listing your previous graduate jobs.
Key skills
This one isn’t mantatory – you may feel that you have already have covered your key skills in other sections of your CV. However, you might like to include a bulleted list of your skills, particularly if they are relevant to particular graduate schemes or graduate jobs you are applying to.
i.e. If you’re apply for media graduate jobs or marketing graduate jobs, an employer would be impressed to hear that you have creativity, good communication skills, or something more specific such as IT skills.
Hobbies / Interests
Next up should be your hobbies and interests – and it’s a good idea to ensure that these are applicable to the particular job you are applying to.
i.e. If you’re applying for accounting graduate jobs, your participation in the finance society at university would be impressive. Equally, if you’re applying for IT graduate jobs, any proven interest in learning about new technologies or upskilling in your spare time will be good here.
List your hobbies and interests in clear bullet points – and if you can, back them up with how you have developed this skill or acted upon the interest throughout your life.
References
It’s a good idea to include the sentence ‘References are available upon request’ at the bottom of your CV.
If the employer is impressed by you, they may wish to speak to your referees – so make sure you have two references on your CV available just in case.
Knowing how to structure a CV can be make or break when it comes to job applications – so if you’re looking for graduate jobs and you want to write a good CV, start by making sure you know what makes a great structure.

2018 was a busy year in graduate recruitment - and a very positive year for Give A Grad A Go.
Throughout the year, we worked across a wide and diverse range of sectors – from Marketing & Advertising and Banking & Finance graduate jobs, through to roles in emerging industries such as FinTech, EdTech, and PropTech.
Based upon each of the key sectors we worked within last year, and from the data we collated from our placements, we have compiled an analysis of the most common graduate jobs, salary range and gender representation.
Throughout the year, we continued to focus on a large candidate range - from university leavers, to those with up to 3-4 years' experience. Consequently, we also worked on graduate recruitment projects ranging from entry-level opportunities and graduate schemes right through to 2nd and 3rd-level jobs. This was reflected in the range in starting salary for each sector - from £20k, right the way through to £50k for candidates with more experience, or in-demand, highly technical skills.
Across many sectors, and in every quarter of last year, our gender representation statistics continued to defy industry standards. This was particularly notable in some of the more traditionally male-dominated sectors, such as IT & Tech, and Internet & Digital Media. We are thrilled to have helped a number of talented women secure graduate jobs in tech last year, as well as enabling fantastic companies in the technology and digital sectors hire graduates who are female.
We also launched a number of brand new services last year – the most prominent being our development of a custom careers microsite for the world-renowned media group, Dentsu Aegis Network.
Despite the variety of roles and sectors we worked on last year, our team of dedicated graduate recruitment specialists ensured that our probation pass rate remained at an impressive 95%, while our average time to fill a role remained well below the industry standard, at just 19 working days.
